Ebay is a community

         Shopping on Ebay is a community. People know Ebay is a website that they can buy and sell stuff. Most of people like to buy “cheap” stuff. Some people look antique stuff from this famous website as well. On the other hand, people like to sell their stuff that they don’t use it anymore and have a business minded. That’s the way people get connected each other in this community.

          People hold together in “Ebay” community for specific needs in getting in and getting rid of stuff. Some people even can make a lot of money by selling some particular stuff. The law and rule in Ebay will bind them together, that is Ebay buyer protection. For instance, buyers can issue a dispute to sellers who do not ship the items. Sellers received money through paypal from buyers, yet sellers do not ship the items. Moreover, they got points with how many positive feedback they can get.

          People become more fond of Ebay. On seller side, they can make a lot of money. They can open their own store in this community. Seller does not have to open their own real store that is waste money for rental space, utility bills, their precious time to come to manage, and pay wages for their employees. Their buyers are not only from US, but from all over the countries. I would say it can be their second job. On buyer side, they can get stuff cheaper than in the market place.

          This community has a business tension. People race to have more stuff and more money from their business. It is a good community to try to get around.

          Finally, I have been get involved with this community for years. Last year I purchased my chemistry textbook in this community. It was new and cost only $60 compared to $240 in the market place.  I keep on getting involved with this community “Ebay” to hunt my textbooks in the future.

What's in Your Wallet?

“What’s in your wallet?” is an advertising word from Capital One credit card.  It’s an interesting topic to discuss.  Many people have different kind of wallets to keep their valuable stuff.  They have wallets starting from the cute, branded wallet until the secure ones.  I picked  cloth, big, and black wallet in my purse.

I like the wallet with a lot of space to store my credit cards, ATM cards, grocery save card that linked with save gas, Fred Meyer, Safeway, QFC, etc. I have library and YMCA member cards as well. I have a bunch of cards. On the other hand, I have triple small pockets with secured zipper to store my coins and 3 important pictured ID.  Sometimes I need coin and cash to pay parking fee, buy Coke from vending machine or do my laundry. I don’t put cash too much. Somebody may be interested to take it, just enough to buy all the stuff weekly.

Some people put their receipts on it. I put some of them just in case I will return the merchandise I bought. Usually I put big purchase receipts like small appliances or electronic things. Every week I checked them, otherwise I’ve got messy receipts in my wallet.

I like to put one picture of my 15-months-old baby girl and 7-years-old daughter picture in it. Sometimes I can show my pictures to friends and people I like to talk to.

So, what’s in your wallet?
